Phrase | attraction |
Text | In this podcast, the word "attraction" means places or things that visitors like to see: "One of the most popular attractions in Washington DC is the White House." "Attraction," as a noun, can also mean a romantic feeling you feel toward someone else: "As soon as I met him at the party, I knew that we had a strong attraction." There was a popular 1987 American movie called "Fatal Attraction," where a man has a romantic relationship with a woman who is not his wife. The man tried to stop seeing the woman, but she does not want to stop their relationship, and she does terrible things to him and his family. Now, the phrase "fatal attraction" is use to describe a situation where one person wants to end a relationship but the other person does not, and continues to bother the other person: "I hope this isn't one of these fatal attractions." |
